Elevate your cloud-native security skills
Cloud-Native technologies and microservice architectures have made the traditional security perimeter a thing of the past. New security concepts utilizing “Workload Identity” are now redefining how organizations address the modern challenges of security governance in diverse and dynamic cloud environments.
At Venafi, we are truly excited to introduce our latest training course: SPIFFE & SPIRE In Practice. This course is designed to empower any security team and platform team with the knowledge and skills to effectively implement workload identity and build a zero-trust networking model.
Why this training matters
The shift to Cloud-Native environments means that traditional network security measures like firewalls, IP-allow listing, and username/password authentication are no longer sufficient to protect workloads. Companies are struggling with various impacts of this, including:
- Inconsistent identity
- Secret Sprawl
- Overprivileged workloads
- Implementing a Zero Trust model
To stay ahead, security teams must adopt new practices and technologies that support secure service identity management within their constantly changing environments. Our SPIFFE & SPIRE training course is crafted to provide you with the necessary expertise to thrive in this new paradigm and solve the business problems associated with them
Who is this training for?
This training is aimed at a technical audience, and caters to all levels of Cloud Native experience. This course will appeal to a variety of roles, and anyone interested in integrating SPIFFE into their applications. including:
- solutions architects
- security architects
- security engineers
- platform engineers
- developers
